Recently in Coffee Bean on the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica Category
We were at the Third Street Promenade on Saturday and found ourselves at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf.
Now there's a place that always has dark roast brewing ... and never mind that the average Coffee Bean light roast is way better than the average Starbucks light roast.
Cancel that. There is no other light roast at Starbucks other than Pike Place Roast.
Not that I care, since I always choose dark above light.
But if Coffee Bean stays committed to coffee — in a way that Starbucks is not, that says a lot.
It's funny, saying that Starbucks has abandoned coffee, the beverage. But it's pretty much true.
What I'm really saying: Placing Pike Place Roast, not just above all other light roasts but above all other kinds of drip coffee is Starbucks' jump the shark moment.
